Thought I'd put my 2 cents worth into this very quiet list. I am
searching for information about my relative Anthony CLEGG, b abt. 1822
in England, married Catherine JOURDAN, and died in Newton Co., GA.
According to the 1860 and 1870 census, he lived in Muscogee Co.,GA.
There is also a William Clegg listed, that I wonder if he is related to
Anthony CLEGG. According to my parents, Anthony was in the textile
business in Columbus , GA. This is the total extent of my knowledge of
my CLEGG relatives!

Researching the following surnames: Pickett, Gordon, Jourdan, Boulware,
Bowler, Alston, Almand, Merrill,Cowan,Lovvorn
My Family line, I don't have much as yet, but as always I continue
searching:
1) Lily CLEGG (B: June 26, 1894 Montreal, Quebec, Canada - D: January 15,
1981 Lindsay, Ontario, Canada) Married December 27, 1918 in Manchester,
England
+James Alfred LAWSON (B: January 23, 1895, Lindsay, Ontario Canada D:
March 28, 1987 Lindsay, Ontario, Canada)
2) Joseph CLEGG (Joseph had at least 1 brother that I know of so far =
Arthur)
+Nellie possibly Ellen ???
+They had 6 children: Lily, Nellie, Edith, Joseph, Arthur and Jack.
I would welcome hearing from anyone that may be linked to this family.
Thanks,
Cindy

Elizabeth Clegg, dau of Samuel Campbell Clegg & Barbara Flick is my
connection to the Cleggs.
Elizabeth Clegg & Jacob Timmerman's son Jonathan Timmerman (brother to David
Yancy listed by Steph) was my gggrandfather, and his daughter Caroline was
my ggrandmother. Caroline moved to SW Georgia with William Travis Glausier
before the Civil War and raised their six children after he died as a POW in
Elmira, NY. She is buried in Mt. Enon Cemetery in Mitchell County.
While here, I would like to suggest that a helpful hint we might share is
general history sources in which Samuel Campbell Clegg might be found.
Recently, I have come across several books about Tories and would like to
know which ones have already been researched by my cousins.

Since this list has been so quiet lately I just wanted to take this time
to remind us that we have 44 members on the Clegg list. Maybe everyone
should send in a note telling who you are researching and see if we can
get this list more active. I am going to temporarily change the list so
that all responses go back to the list. After traffic picks up I will
change it to only send messages back to sender.
Also remember that we have Clegg genconnect boards at rootsweb. If you
have any Clegg data (wills, Deeds, pensions, bible records, biographies
or obitutaries)please submit it. There is also a query board. The main
address is listed below and you just go to the Clegg surname and enter
your info.
